Anyone have plans to "shop" tomorrow? ~ my own plans are to not even go outside ~

Any shopping I need to do will be done online. Only masochists go to the stores on Black Friday!

We stay in and play.

I need a few groceries but that's about it. Strangely enough, the news says the border crossings to Bellis Fair Mall in Bellingham are quieter than usual this morning.

"Black" Friday needs to be re-defined a wee bit. Only non-whites living below the poverty line can take advantage of those deals.
Now sit back and wait for the implosion by the 1% and those they have duped.

During Black Friday I am scraping packed snow off the parking lot, cleaning sidewalks, paying bills, doing normal workday stuff. Everyone said they were taking the day off, but dang, we are almost all here! Well, I am not staying here all day, and that's final! I did buy 300# of ice melting stuff this morning, if that counts as Black Friday shopping. I received a nice response to my recent grant proposal in the email this morning.

It's actually raining here today. I'm just going to stay home and cuddle up by my imaginary fireplace.

Here's a Raw Story post that includes some videos, snarky comments, and tweets from various Wal-Marts ~ I don't get why or how some are convinced that fights and stabbings are the "answer" ~ ~ Sooz

OK, today I am thankful for thermal long underwear.

How many pairs you wearing Gramps?

i protested at Wal-Mart. ;]

My condolences to all the retails slaves who had to deal with this craziness today.

it wasn't me. i swear.

We went to the mall. I bought a lot for the nieces and one nephew.

I don't think it was particularly crazy.

We went to see Frozen tonight. We all liked it. The Ice Queen by Hans Christian Anderson.

Those Wal-Mart videos are hysterical and scary at the same time!
